It's time we enter the realm of Starcraft once again, from a clean sheet. Following weeks of intense scouting, five players have finally made it through the selection, and from now on will proudly wear our colours. Accurate predictions might have removed the essence of excitement from the news, but nevertheless, we're thrilled to present you Western Wolves' new SC2 division. The newly formed roster will consist of the finest European talents available, spread across different regions of the continent. A Zerg dominant squad, with one Protoss and one Terran to finalize the race breakdown. The line-up features former members of British-based organisation Infused, who caught our attention after stupendous performances at both, the online and the offline fronts. Welcoming our newest additions - Nick "Ziktomini" Copello, Rickard "SortOf" Bergman, Daniel "StarNaN" Ohlsson and Vaidas "Fargo" Radavicius. 17-year-old from Sweden, previously part of team Property, will arrive as a reinforcement to complete the stack. Viktor "Mini" Malmberg joins the ranks of Western Wolves, making him the youngest representative of the division. “We are extremely happy to be welcoming this new Starcraft 2 line-up to our organisation”, said head manager Florent Dauvister. “All of our new players have been constantly impressing us this year and their good results at Dreamhack and i45 showed that they are now forces to be reckoned within Europe. We hope to see them competing at the highest level in both individual and team events in the future.” Nick "Ziktomini" Copello Rickard "SortOf" Bergman Daniel "StarNaN" Ohlsson Vaidas "Fargo" Radavicius Viktor "Mini" Malmberg

Obviously, but really good effort !

I wish the best of luck to Infused.
|
Fargo huh? I remember him. He was beasting up the ladder/online tours on EU pretty hard like a year ago.
|
Anxious to see them make a splash, Ill hold my applause until then :3 Best of luck~
|
i dont know if i like the organization, they basically just picked up a low-financed, talented team with money and only had spades before. i know they are bigger than sc2 but i tend to not like orgs that start out in a scene like this.

After the pre-announcement-thread, expected.
Those are some talented players, even if many may not know them. Best of luck to all parties involved, including
-Infused, for whatever their future may hold,
-Western Wolves, for trying to establish an SC2 squad again (a very acknowladgeble team in many other games (ESPORTS!) )
-and most importantly the players themselves, for I think there is potential for some of those to rise above the huge EU talent pool that already exists
|
Decent line up, hope you guys start signing more small name big talent prizes. GL HF!

This is a pretty good lineup, pretty smart pickups too.
Good luck!

Glhf WW and best of luck to Mini!

Sortof and starnan are pretty solid. Don't know mini+ziktoguy. Fargo I really don't get.. Seems like his peak was when he did alrightish in 2-3 craft cups and from there on just struggled to hit top100 gm

Zikto beat Stephano and Bly (among many others) at DH, and Mini eliminated Turuk and ToD from the same event.

Yaaaaaay, Best of luck to Mini!
|
|
|
Best of luck to all the players and Western Wolves I look forward to seeing more of them soon :D
|
StarNaN will have his breakout during 2012 definately, such a good player. 
|
I haven't even heard of any of these players...
|
I've definitely seen these players at Dreamhack... Pretty good list, I think.
|
Good move from WW! Picking up those up and coming European players, especially excited for Mini(<3) and SortOf!
|
Great news. I'm not really in the know about up-and-coming players though. Will there be some sort of team stream to showcase their games? I'll settle for VODs/replays as well

4 of our players stream regularly and can be found here
SortOf - http://www.twitch.tv/infsortof he regularly streams EU and NA playhems for which he is the most successful non Korean with 12 golds, 10 silvers and 12 bronzes
StarNaN - http://www.twitch.tv/stjarnan regularly streams his ladder practice with cam and insightful commentary
Fargo - http://www.twitch.tv/fargoo he's just getting back into streaming ladder practice, coupled in with the ever popular Fargo rage!
Ziktomini - http://www.twitch.tv/ziktomini streams regularly mostly ladder but also online tournaments
|
Mini fighting !

I like how they said intense scouting when they recruited that maphacker guy spades
|
Since it's western, are Koreans not allowed to join?

We attended Dreamhack with our fighting squad and took 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the Street Fighter 4 tournament, 1st and 2nd was our resident Korean players, so of course they can join!
|
nice lineup! SortOf is a beast! I hope Infused can recuperate though, as all of their best players apart from JonnyREcco are gone.
|
Sad to see mini leave team property, but best of luck in ur new team!:D
|
|
|
Ohh this is an interesting team :D
